The remarks describe units as suitable for owner-occupants and identify numerous units as tenant-occupied or investment properties, but they do not provide a building-wide owner-occupancy percentage. Because no numeric owner-occupancy value is available and the remarks do not support a reliable estimate, the value remains unknown.
The remarks explicitly confirm that Makaha Surfside has five elevators. This matches the current value and is reasonable for a five-story, 478-unit building.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Common-area costs are supported by 14/20 current MLS listings containing OTCOEX, along with remarks stating that monthly fees include common area maintenance. The evidence is strong across the building, though the remarks generally use broader maintenance language rather than explicitly saying 'common area electricity.'

Only 1/20 listings identify HOTWAT, whereas 10/20 identify WTRHTR and remarks repeatedly state 'tankless water heater,' 'on-demand water heater,' or 'water heater.' The repeated unit-level heater references across listings strongly indicate hot water is not building-supplied through the maintenance fee.

No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly confirmed by 16/20 current MLS records. Multiple remarks directly say fees include 'water, sewer' or 'water, sewer, trash collection,' providing consistent building-level confirmation across listings.
Water inclusion has the strongest support, appearing in 17/20 current MLS records. Several independent remarks explicitly state that fees include 'water, sewer' or that monthly maintenance fees cover water, confirming this is a building-level feature.
BBQ facilities are repeatedly confirmed with phrases such as "BBQ area," "BBQ pavilion," "barbecue grills," "covered barbeque area," and "communal barbecue area." The evidence is widespread across listings and strongly corroborates the 18/20 MLS checkbox count.

No reviewed listing remarks identify a car wash facility. The single current MLS selection is unsupported by descriptive remarks, so there is insufficient evidence that this is a genuine building amenity.

Many listings explicitly mention the building's "exercise room," "fitness center," "full gym," "fitness room," or "workout room." The feature is consistently described across numerous agents and is also strongly supported by the 15/20 current MLS selections.
No analysis available
There is clear direct evidence for a shared meeting room/community room amenity. While fewer listings mention it than BBQ or sauna, the mentions are explicit and repeated enough to confirm the feature at the building level. This appears to be a genuine shared amenity, not just MLS noise.
Numerous listings from multiple agents describe outdoor spaces, including “one of the larger lanais,” “watch the sunset from your lanai,” “ocean and pool view from your balcony,” and a “private balcony.” Other listings repeatedly mention shared BBQ pavilions, poolside BBQ areas, grassy common areas, and outdoor walking paths, confirming the complex offers patio/deck-like amenities despite only 2 of 20 current listings marking PATDEC/COVPAT.
Listings repeatedly mention a "paved walking path that winds throughout the property," "relaxing walking paths," "walking/jogging path," and "walking paths." The repeated descriptions across agents strongly confirm a shared path system.

At least one listing explicitly states that the building features access to a "recreation area," while other listings describe shared recreation rooms, meeting rooms, and resort-style common amenity spaces. Evidence is moderate rather than as widespread as for the exercise room or BBQ facilities.
Several listings describe a "recreation room with workout equipment," "rec room," or "community recreation room," and multiple others mention a community or meeting room. These repeated building-level references support the feature despite the low 2/20 MLS checkbox count.

No analysis available
Sauna access is repeatedly confirmed with phrases including "men and women’s sauna," "male/female saunas," "2 saunas," "sauna room," and "relaxing sauna." The direct, repeated remarks across many listings strongly support the current MLS data.
Several listings describe building-level storage features, including a unit with a 'covered parking stall & storage locker,' another with 'assigned parking with storage,' and remarks noting 'storage closets' and 'storage space for your surfboard' as part of the common amenities. This appears in at least 4 different listings from different agents, suggesting dedicated storage facilities are a consistent, shared amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. Despite sparse MLS checkbox use, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that Makaha Surfside offers resident storage/locker options.
Several remarks directly identify surfboard storage as a community amenity. The repeated explicit references provide high-confidence evidence that the feature exists.
No analysis available
None of the supplied remarks explicitly references a "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute." However, 11/20 current MLS listings select TRACHU, so the feature remains provisionally included but is less reliable than amenities repeatedly described in the remarks.

At least 19 of 20 listings identify pool amenities, and many independent remarks explicitly describe the building's shared pools, most commonly as "two swimming pools" or "two pools." The repeated, detailed references across many listings and agents strongly confirm that Makaha Surfside has swimming pools.
Although 3 of 20 listings contain the HEAPOO amenity code, none of the reviewed remarks explicitly mention a "heated pool" or "heated swimming pool." Listings consistently describe the amenities as "two pools," "salt water pools," or "sparkling pools," so heated-pool status is not supported and is likely checkbox or copy-paste noise.
The remarks directly identify the pools as salt water or saltwater pools. This evidence is repeated across listings and supports a high-confidence true value.
No analysis available
Community/shared laundry is strongly established across many independent listings, with well over 15 remarks explicitly mentioning it. Key phrases include "on-site laundry," "community laundry," "laundry facilities on property," "2 laundry facilities," and "two community laundry areas," confirming that Makaha Surfside offers shared building laundry rather than relying only on MLS checkbox data.
I searched the laundry references for coin-op, paid, fee, card, quarters, and payment language. The listings only describe community or onsite laundry facilities, with no evidence that using them requires payment.
The listings consistently confirm shared laundry facilities on the property, but they do not describe floor-by-floor laundry or laundry rooms on every floor. Because the remarks identify centralized facilities rather than every-floor availability, this feature is not supported.
Parking is clearly a building-wide feature. Current public remarks mention it in dozens of listings with phrases like "2 open parking stalls," "covered parking," "parking garage," "assigned parking," and "dedicated parking stall." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and unit types, so this appears strongly supported rather than copy-paste noise.
More than 20 listings explicitly mention assigned or equivalent parking, including “one assigned open parking stall,” “deeded covered parking space,” “reserved parking spot,” and “designated parking stall.” The evidence is repeated across many listings and agents and is consistent with the current 20/20 MLS checkbox data.
At least 20 listings mention covered or enclosed parking, including “1 covered parking,” “deeded covered stall,” “secure parking garage,” “covered assigned parking stall,” and “covered parking spot.” This strongly confirms the building offers covered parking, even though some units have open stalls.
Several listings explicitly identify deeded parking, including covered stalls and stalls with storage. Other listings mention assigned or covered parking, but the direct deeded-parking references establish that deeded parking exists in the building.
No analysis available
A public remark provides a specific monthly rental range for an additional parking stall. No separate standard fee for the included or assigned stalls was found.
At least 15 listings explicitly mention guest or visitor parking, including “tons of guest parking,” “guest stalls,” “ample guest parking,” “plenty of guest parking,” and “22 guest stalls.” The repeated references across multiple agents confirm guest parking is a building-level offering.
At least 20 listings reference secured access or parking-related security, including “fully gated community,” “secured entry garage structure,” “secure parking garage,” “secured project with security and keyed entry,” and “parking entry has security guard.” The lower current checkbox count appears to reflect inconsistent MLS coding rather than a change, given the strong historical confidence and repeated remarks.

No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention assigned, covered, deeded, guest, rentable, and ample parking, but none mention a parking waitlist, waiting list, or joining a waitlist for parking. Therefore, there is no public-remark evidence that the building has a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
The property is repeatedly described as gated, secured, and monitored by security personnel, and some listings mention keyed entry. However, the public remarks provide no evidence of card- or fob-based access, so this specific feature is not confirmed.
More than 20 listings mention building security service using phrases such as 'security guard,' '24-hour security,' '24-hour security patrol,' and '24/7 guard service.' The evidence is widespread across many listings and agents, strongly confirming that Makaha Surfside provides security guard service rather than this being an isolated copy-paste error.
Multiple remarks confirm active security patrol or roving security service, often operating 24 hours. This is distinct from merely having secured or gated access and is strongly supported.

At least 10 current listings include explicit window-AC references, including “window AC unit,” “large window AC unit,” and “new AC window unit.” The repeated mentions across many renovated and non-renovated units, together with the strong historical evidence and current MLS checkbox data, confirm that Makaha Surfside offers units with window air conditioning.
Concrete construction is supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings. Public remarks are generally focused on unit renovations, but the explicit reference to "concrete walls" corroborates the overwhelmingly consistent MLS pattern across the building.
Two current listings report DOUWAL, while none of the public remarks use phrases such as "double wall" or "two walls." Because historical confidence was high, the feature is retained, but the lack of remark confirmation reduces confidence.
No public remarks mention hollow tile construction. With HOLTIL appearing in only 2 of 20 current listings and prior confidence being low, support is insufficient to include this feature.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 MLS records include MASSTU and multiple listings describe concrete/cinder-block walls that have been drywalled/surfaced. While remarks do not explicitly say 'stucco', the pattern of masonry/concrete construction with finished exteriors supports including masonry/stucco at an implied confidence level.
No analysis available
SLAB appears in 6 of 20 current listings, but none of the public remarks mention a concrete slab or solid concrete foundation. The feature is retained with moderate-to-low confidence based on the partial MLS pattern and prior medium confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Eight of 20 current MLS records identify above-ground construction, consistent with the building's repeatedly described multi-story layout. No remarks explicitly state "above ground construction," but the historical high confidence and building context support inclusion.
Weak evidence: only 2 of 20 MLS construction_materials include BRICK and no public remarks reference brick or brick-and-mortar construction. Given the lack of corroborating remarks, it's unlikely the building is primarily brick construction.
No analysis available
The remarks describe units as vacation retreats, second homes, weekend getaways, and investment properties, and one listing mentions general rental use, but none explicitly state that short-term rentals, vacation rentals, NUCs, or TVUs are permitted. No explicit 30-day minimum or owner-occupant-only restriction was found either, so short-term-rental permission is not supported by the public remarks.
The two swimming pools repeatedly described in the remarks are resident amenities, not a hotel rental pool. Because STR permission is not established, the prerequisite for hotel-pool participation is also not met.
The remarks do not state that owners must participate in a hotel rental program. They instead describe fee-simple residential ownership, personal occupancy, investments, and vacation use without any mandatory rental-pool requirement.
No analysis available

The remarks repeatedly indicate fee-simple ownership, making a leasehold expiration inapplicable. Searches for lease expiration, land lease, ground lease, and renewal dates found no specific year.
Multiple listings directly confirm VA financing availability or approval for Makaha Surfside. The evidence is repeated and explicit, so this feature remains true with very high confidence.
The remarks state that maintenance fees cover items such as water, sewer, trash, and common-area maintenance. They do not mention full building insurance, comprehensive insurance, walls-in coverage, or that the HOA fully insures the property.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention gated or secured entry, security guards, 24-hour security, and security patrols, but none state that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, or fire inspection. Security features do not establish fire/life safety compliance.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Ocean views are overwhelmingly supported across the building, with 18 of 20 current listings mentioning ocean views. Repeated phrases include “direct unobstructed ocean view,” “unobstructed ocean views,” “panoramic views of the ocean,” and “breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean,” indicating strong confirmation across many listings and agents.
Mountain views are supported by 8 of 20 current listings, including explicit descriptions of “stunning views of both the Waianae mountain range and the sparkling ocean,” “peek-a-boo mountain views,” and “the majestic ocean and mountains beyond.” The feature appears in multiple distinct remarks rather than relying only on generic building descriptions.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Coastline views are supported by 6 of 20 current listings, including explicit wording such as “this West Coastline,” “ocean and coastal views,” and “captivating ocean and coastal views.” Although less frequently mentioned than ocean or sunset views, the repeated explicit references establish that the building offers coastline-view units.
Garden/landscaped views appear in a minority of listings, but they are present enough to support the feature. A few remarks mention "gorgeous landscaped grounds," "grassy back yard," and views of the "green area," suggesting some units look over garden-like common areas.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sunrise views are less commonly advertised, appearing in 2 of 20 listings, but the evidence is explicit rather than inferred. A listing specifically states "stunning sunrise views over the Pacific," which is sufficient to include this building-level feature because at least some units offer it.
Sunset views are strongly supported, with 11 of 20 current listings mentioning sunsets. Key phrases include “spectacular Makaha sunsets,” “breathtaking sunset views,” “front-row sunsets,” and “watch the sunset from your lanai,” providing repeated confirmation across multiple units and agents.
No analysis available
The listings repeatedly advertise ocean, lagoon, sunset, and wildlife views from residences. None specifically states that fireworks can be watched from a unit, lanai, or the building, so the required fireworks-view feature is unsupported.
No analysis available
No analysis available
At least 3 current listings explicitly mention the feature, using phrases such as “resident manager's office on site,” “on site management,” and “an onsite manager.” This confirms the prior high-confidence determination and appears across multiple remarks rather than being contradicted by current evidence.
